Some people invest 252 in speed, but that would still not outspeed anything much. Even if it outspeed Mantine and Skarmory, they would be pressured and switched out anyway.

You want a core? I think Ferrothorn is a useful partner because it checks Fairy, Ground and can handle Ice type attacks, which Mega Ampharos loses to. Ferrothorn can use Stealth Rock, along with Mega Ampharos's nice typing that can force opponents out well, can wear down the opponent's team somewhat effectively. Due to Mega Ampharos's low speed and tendency to be worn down, Ferrothorn can use Leech Seed to restore health for Mega Ampharos. Ferrothorn struggles against some flying types and fire types such as Heatran, Skarmory and Zapdos. These weaknesses are taken care by Mega Ampharos.

This core, however, loses to Mega Charizard X even though it hates Stealth Rock. So, make sure to find a way to deal with it.
